Me, Myself and I

I feel completely

Lost

Alone

By

Myself here.

No company

Could fix this.

Drowning in my own emotion,

Melting in the not-yet-summer heat.

I can't think straight,

Can't be

That person

For any longer.

I look down at my hand.

The smiley face.

The bracelet on my wrist.

Both representing

Different things

And yet, the same;

You are not alone.

We are here.

Let us be there.

I try and I try and I try

I try

So hard.

Me

Myself

And I

Make terrible company.

I crave human existence

But once I have it

I wish for alone time.

I

Have never been completely

Alone

But sometimes

I feel like it.

    she could still read -

    just enough

    just a little.

    I pulled out my flute-piano duet book

    First kiss

    You cared;

    I tried to.

    You did;

    I thought I did.

    I wanted so badly

    to be a character in my books

    and to feel longing

    to feel needing

    to feel love and to

    be loved
